Rihanna's latest Fenty x Puma show put the meaning into BadGal. Here's everything that went down.

Powder pink dirt hills, burly bikers and It-girl models were all part of Rihanna's badass show. Kicking off with thumping electronic music, stunt men came tearing up ramps to perform gravity-defying flips across the set before models spun onto the runway. Among these faces were Adwoa Aboah, Taylor Hill, Slick Woods, Grace Elizabeth, Adriana Lima and girl of the season, Kaia Gerber.

As for the clothes, they followed Rihanna's affinity with athleisure with sporty chic items fit for only the baddest ladies; full body lycras, biker leathers, sporty stripe slouch boots and oversized outdoor wear were among the looks.

Check out Rihanna's most forgettable looks ever:

While most rising stars - as Rihanna was at this stage in 2009 - play it safe at award ceremonies in mermaid-style dresses, RiRi decided on a Dolce & Gabbana tux with exaggerated shoulders and Freddy Krueger-esque leather gloves, which she may or may not have stolen from Karl Lagerfeld.

This was one of the first outfits that Rihanna wore that really got people talking - a daring Jean Paul Gaultier gown she decided on for the 2011 Grammys. It kind of looks like a couture version of scrunched toilet paper.

Rihanna can do simplicity as much as she can high-octane dramatic glamour. In 2012 - when she was first making it in the fashion world - she attended an intimate Stella McCartney dinner in a green slip dress and heels.

This dress attracted international attention when Rihanna wore it to the 2014 CFDAs, which was probably the point. To many, it was deemed too much for the sensitive eyes of the conservative press, but to us, she is defiantly sexy and 100 percent badass. wearing a part Josephine Baker, part sphinx sheer dress, her modesty covered by a nude-coloured thong. She accessorised with a white fur stole, smoking eyes, glittering gloves and a turban that referenced the style of glamorous Twenties flapper girls.

While the rest of wear tropical prints and bright colour to carnival, Rihanna always takes it to the next level - in 2015 wearing nothing but a headdress, a bejewelled bikini and a diamante-encrusted glass of rum like a gloriously wayward, rum-swilling gangster version of a Victoria's Secret Angel.

Rihanna was one of the only Met Ball 2015 guests to pay attention the event's theme, China: Through the Looking Glass, wearing then little known designer Guo Pei. She admitted she could't walk in it without help, but she took the hit anyway and took on the guise of an exotic princess for the night. A plethora of omelette comparisons fast ensued.

This look attracted a lot of attention. Why? No, not because of her waist-high denim boots that she that designed with Manolo Blahnik, but it's her Princess Diana T-shirt that got the world talking. Why is Rihanna such a fan of the late princess? In her own words: "She was gangsta with her clothes. She had these crazy hats. She got oversize jackets. I loved everything she wore!”
